My DH and I decided not to go for the NT scan. We both decided we couldn't terminate if the result was high, would not want the risk of the amnio and also did not want the anxiety of a probability throughout the pregnancy.

That said I am now 39 weeks along the pregnancy and my main anxiety is whether the baby is genetically okay! So maybe I should have had the NT scan anyway as preparation. I guess we just didn't know at the time and this being our first baby - you have such a brief window of opportunity to decide.

I sometimes curse technology and that we have so many options nowadays! Despite this we're looking forward to the arrival of our bub and will love and adore him/her whoever he or she is.
